Homemade Mac & Cheese

I'm not positive, but I think this might be the recipe Andrea uses for her homemade mac and cheese. So I should probably let her post it, but I made it last week and wanted to put it on here before I forget and wonder why I have these pictures in my photo library. I also halve this recipe if its just us, but its great for a big crowd as well. I think this is the one Mom feeds the missionaries.

Homemade Mac & Cheese

(feelin' lazy so I just pasted it right from the website where its found!)

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set breadcrumbs aside.

Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce

How funny is that!! I love Mike, he works with my husband at viewmont and is always so nice when I corner him in his office and ask a billion photo questions. I am using a nikon d40x which I love but I am hoping to beable to upgrade to the d2 once I have saved up enough.

This is definitely Andrea's recipe and I have now made it at least 6 times. It is a bit hit here in the South where Mac and Cheese reign supreme! I have not tried the bread crumbs on top but it would be yummy!

We made this last night for my family for the first time, it was a huge hit. We used half white cheddar/half regular orange US cheddar to cut down on the cost and used Pecorino Romano instead of Gruyere as well. It was delicious.
